There are so many great wines to taste and so many great wine farms to visit around the Cape, but sometimes wine is wine, and sometimes this wine farm looks a lot like that wine farm. So it’s a real treat when you experience something unique – like a wine tasting experience at Klein Roosboom in Durbanville.
Klein Roosboom is a boutique winery that lies in the foothills of the Durbanville Wine Valley. With some of the most unique experiences that Durbanville has to offer, no wonder they are known as Cape Town’s best kept secret.
Experience a wine tasting like no other in one of Klein Roosboom’s cosy little tasting nooks: wine tasting caves, each individually themed.
Klein Roosboom’s Wine Tasting Caves
Old concrete wine tanks were knocked open to create cosy tasting caves. While guests taste, Klein Roosboom shall divulge the stories of their vines and wines and share good times.
There are eight of these wine tasting caves, each with its own themed decorations and furniture.
The smaller and more intimate caves are the Bubbliotique and Hang Gat caves, which can comfortably fit one to four people. The Bubbliotique cave is furnished with comfortable cushioned seating, while the Hang Gat cave, true to its name, has two swings suspended from the ceiling, from which you can sip away at your wine.
The slightly larger caves are the Ou Gat and Rouge caves, which can accommodate between one and six visitors. The Ou Gat cave has a quaint, antique feel to it, while the Rouge cave transports you to a French bohemian period.
The three larger caves can seat one to eight guests. The Versailles cave is decorated with a jumble of picture frames and mirrors on the walls, turning the room itself into a work of art. Then the final two rooms, called The Kitchen and The Pantry, are furnished as implied: to look like a 19th century, farmstyle kitchen and pantry.
Head over to Klein Roosboom’s website to check out their virtual tours of the caves. If you’d like to experience any particular cave, don’t forget to make a reservation to avoid disappointment.
While taking in the ambiance of the caves, sip on a few of their best wines on offer and share some snacks and platters from their Wine Experience menu.
If you’re looking for something different than your usual wine tasting and wine farm, it is for sure worth the visit to Klein Roosboom.
